"My doos!!"

Cooper's new favorite thing to say- "My doos!"... As in, back off mom and dad, I got this!

And if he can't figure out whatever it is, then we get "Mommy doos!" or "Daddy doos!" or "Elp!" (help). As long as we have time to wait, it's pretty cute watching him and his little mind work. When we're in a hurry, it can be not as cute. :)

Some "My doos." successes: getting into his carseat, putting on his pajamas, and washing his hands (and REALLY scrubbing- with soap)!

Last week, he decided he wanted to try to put on his socks all by himself...

He got really far, about half the sock was on... then he pulled it off, held it out to me, and said, "Mommy doos!"

He has also become a HUGE fan of the word "Why?". It started Mother's Day morning, and Rick has been enduring it ever since... a lot. Which means his mind is working even harder, bubbling over with curiosity. I love it!
